Smart Array 5i raid5 expansion
I have a smart Array 5i controller in a Proliant DL380. Current configuration is 3 146gb drives in single raid-5 array. One volume. 2 partitions in windows server. I have 3 new 146gb drives that I have physically installed into the server.
I am using array software 7.50.23.0 and cant get the job done. Can someone help?
I want to add new drives to existing array, volume, and second windows partion. Adding storage capacity to Windows file server. (without taking the server down)
I was told this was possible, but I've been lied to before.

Re: Smart Array 5i raid5 expansion
Hello gatesm,
I think this can be done,not sure if you tried this.
1.Add the new 3*146Gb disks to existing array(Array A).
2.Add the additional storage to the existing logical volume(Volume A).
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00687518/c00687518.pdf
Pg 5-7
3.Use diskpart utility to extend the data volume(i suppose its D:\ in your case).Also be aware C:\ can't be extended via diskpart.

Re: Smart Array 5i raid5 expansion
Hi there,
I've got this document form HP about 4 months ago and tried to extend C: drive, it didn't work the way they stated it should, they retired the distribution of teh documment since it wasn't official so I've made my own research and modified it a little bit.
I included links to all the documentation I've found to help me extend the C: drive.
See attachment. (*.doc in *.rar file) -> Use winrar.
(I left the document autor e-mail)
Regards.
